BEx Variable Key/Name swap when used as Prompt in WebI report

Hi,
We are using Bex Variables in a Query used as a base for a BOBJ Universe and Query.
When refreshing the report the Prompt box displays the Name and Key of the infoobject (Dimension), but when selecting one of those values - moving it to the right, it brings across the Name not Key.
Our requirement is that the Key is selected value rather than the name - is this possible? And if so how?
Netweaver 2004S & Business Objects XI 3.0.
Regards,
Laurence

Ingo,
Thanks, I understand this in the background the Key is used, but is there any way to "swap" the Key and Name in the Prompt box, specifically my users want the Key to display in the right hand side of the Prompt bax when selecting, (or in the dropdown box, in the Prompt tab in WebI)
Best Regards,
Laurence

When using the internet, my web browser window goes blank

It does this quite often:
When using the internet, the web browser screen will go completly blank after 2 secs of loading.
I will see the page, then after two seconds it is gone, and the web browser is completely white.
Once, one page or tab does it, all the others start doing it.
It is very frustrating, and happens quite often.
Does this happen to anyone else, and does anyone know why or how to fix it??

The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

When using the built in web server, is there a way to specify a different

When using the built in web server, is there a way to specify a different error handler when you try to access a NON .CFM file? Right now I get the standard:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: filename.ext
Is there any setting to override this and direct the message to your own .cfm template? The missing template handler in the CF Admin work only for .cfm files.
Thx

The in-built web server for ColdFusion 8 is JRun. I am on ColdFusion 10, however, and so cannot offer hands-on advice. (CF10 replaced JRun with Tomcat.)
My guess is that you have to modify the file {CF_ROOT}/WEB-INF/web.xml. Don't forget to create a back-up first!
You may then proceed as follows.
1) In the ColdFusion root (CF_ROOT), create the file myCustomFileNotFound.cfm. Give it some content, like
My custom File Not Found page. Current time: <cfoutput>#now()#</cfoutput>
2) Open the file {CF_ROOT}/WEB-INF/web.xml in a text editor. Add the following error-handling specification just before the end tag </web-app>:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/myCustomFileNotFound.cfm</location>
</error-page>
Save the file web.xml.
3) Restart ColdFusion. Test by browsing to a URL requesting filename.ext

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI value from an image when using "save for the web"?

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI-value from an image when using "save for the web"?
Example:
- Open a tif image, that contains a dpi value (resolution).
- Use the splice tool in PS6.
- Export the slices with "Save for web", as gif-files.
Then the dpi value is removed, the gif files has no dpi value (it's empty).
How can we stop PS6 from removing the dpi value when using "save for web"?
OR:
When using the slice tool, how can we save the sliced pieces without PS removing the dpi value?

you can make your art go a little bit over the bounds. or you can make sure your artboart and art edges align to pixels

Hi Jim Ji
The report can be displayed from the java infoview, no doubt, so the report itself works.
But the report cannot be seen from the "SAP Infoview" (:/businessobjects/enterprise115/sap) which is the infoview, I reference from the Folder iView (through the system in the SAP portal). And since the SAP Portal Integration Kit seems very old - the Folder iView was created 12-08-2004 by Ingo Hilgefort - there might be an old version of the jar-files somewhere in the installation.
I guess I should check the version of the jar-files in WEB-INF/lib of our web application (Tomcat) folder, and see if they have been overwritten by the SAP Portal Integration Installation or are an older version of the files in Program FilesBusiness Objectscommon3.5javalib? And also check if somewhere in the .../sap installation there are some old jar-files?
Kind regards,
Martin Søgaard

Presentation Variable Value not passing when used in Column Formula.

Hello Gurus:
Please help me with my requirement.
We are trying to show a data backout in report, for example.
For a Product Group Code of 2435 which belongs to Report Line C059 has a Sales Amount of $4,266.90 and in report we want the same Sales Amount of $4,266.90 to be shown as -$4,266.90 (Negative) under a Report Line C080.
So in a report there should be same Sales Dollars as Positive for C059 (from Source) and Negative Sales Amount for C080 (Condition to be applied in Report).
Solution I Tried
I tried to create a Presentation Variable (SQL- Which would fetch me Sales Dollars for Product Group Code 2453) which returns with $4266.90 and then applied it in Answers in Logic (Case when Report Line = C080 then @{Presentation Variable}*-1 Else Sales Dollars END).
Issue I am facing:
Presentation Variable is coming as 0 and if i give any Format (Default Value) it shows the same default value in report. I checked the SQL i used and even when I Preview the Variable its showing me $4,266.90, but not in report.
Please let me know a way to get this Presentation Variable value into my reports.
Also please let me know if i can achieve this requirement in any other way.

Thanks for your reply Paul. But there is no Invoiced Amount for Report Line - 'C080' from source. Invoiced amount of C059 should show as -ve Invoiced amount for CO80.
In a report C059 should show +ve Sales Dollars and C080 should show same amount as -Ve Sales Dollars.

WAD Variable screen not displaying when using a customer exit variable

Hello,
I have a query which has 3 variables, one of which is of type customer exit and gets populated with a default value.
When I run this query on the web from within BEX it works fine, however when I run it within any BI7 web template the variable screen does not pop up. Of course if I remove or change the offending customer exit variable the variable screen pops up.
I have switched the display variable check-box to on, and it still doesn't work.
Is this a 'feature' of BI7?
Many thanks
Sarah

Fixed it myself by tweaking the URL....
Added &VARIABLE_SCREEN=X to the end of the url and the variable screen now pops up. Its not an ideal solution but it works.
Anyone have any better ideas?

Enter Key Not Working When Using Text Tool

For some reason, my enter key has stopped working when using the text tool. Instead of making a soft return to a new line, it simply commits the type. What is going on here?
I'm using a desktop and CS3.

there are 2 enter keys in key board
if u enter main key board enter, sentence will go to next line
In case u enter the key available in rightside of the key board , in the cluster of numericals, the type tool is committed.

'duplicate column name'-Exception when using identical objects

Hi all,
we're currently experiencing problems when using one single object instance for two different members of a mapped class. Here is an excerpt from our ToplinkMapping.java which shows the relevant parts:
public ClassDescriptor buildQuotationDefDescriptor() {
RelationalDescriptor descriptor = new RelationalDescriptor();
descriptor.descriptorIsAggregate();
descriptor.setJavaClass(de.hvb.ha.data.QuotationDef.class);
// Descriptor Properties.
descriptor.setAlias("QuotationDef");
AggregateObjectMapping commonQtyMapping = new AggregateObjectMapping();
commonQtyMapping.setAttributeName("commonQty");
commonQtyMapping.setReferenceClass(de.hvb.ha.data.type.VolumeDT.class);
commonQtyMapping.setIsNullAllowed(false);
commonQtyMapping.addFieldNameTranslation("commonQty_value->DIRECT", "value->DIRECT");
descriptor.addMapping(commonQtyMapping);
AggregateObjectMapping wideningQtyMapping = new AggregateObjectMapping();
wideningQtyMapping.setAttributeName("wideningQty");
wideningQtyMapping.setReferenceClass(de.hvb.ha.data.type.VolumeDT.class);
wideningQtyMapping.setIsNullAllowed(false);
wideningQtyMapping.addFieldNameTranslation("wideningQty_value->DIRECT", "value->DIRECT");
descriptor.addMapping(wideningQtyMapping);
well, if we now assign one object-instance of VolumeDT to both members, i.e. like:
VolumeDT vol = new VolumeDT();
quotationDef.commonQty = vol;
quotationDef.wideningQty = vol;
we end up in the mentioned SQL-Exception, because toplink produces the following SQL-Statement:
UPDATE T_QUOTATIONTARGET SET WIDENING_QUANTITY = 0.0, WIDENING_QUANTITY = 0.0 WHERE …
but we've expected something like:
UPDATE T_QUOTATIONTARGET SET COMMON_QUANTITY = 0.0, WIDENING_QUANTITY = 0.0 WHERE …
Any idea we can prevent this behavior and still use one object-reference for both members??
Appreciate any help!

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately the mentioned change didn't fixed the problem. The sql-statement produced by toplink still looks like the one mentioned above. Moreover, the mentioned change couldn't be managed by the Workbench (which we use in the project to create the mappings), could it?
We currently use TopLink Version 10.1.3.3.
Since you've asked I post the relevant parts of the Parent-Mapping (and again its Parent), so sorry for the verbose post:
public ClassDescriptor buildQuotationORMWrapperDescriptor() {
RelationalDescriptor descriptor = new RelationalDescriptor();
descriptor.setJavaClass(de.hvb.ha.server.businessobjects.techapi.instrument.toplink.quotation.QuotationORMWrapper.class);
descriptor.addTableName("T_QUOTATION");
descriptor.addPrimaryKeyFieldName("T_QUOTATION.SEQ_KEY");
// Descriptor Properties.
descriptor.useSoftCacheWeakIdentityMap();
descriptor.setIdentityMapSize(300);
descriptor.useRemoteSoftCacheWeakIdentityMap();
descriptor.setRemoteIdentityMapSize(300);
descriptor.setSequenceNumberFieldName("T_QUOTATION.SEQ_KEY");
descriptor.setSequenceNumberName("Quotation");
descriptor.setAlias("QuotationORMWrapper");
// Query Manager.
descriptor.getQueryManager().checkCacheForDoesExist();
OneToManyMapping quotationDefsMapping = new OneToManyMapping();
quotationDefsMapping.setAttributeName("quotationDefs");
quotationDefsMapping.setReferenceClass(de.hvb.ha.server.businessobjects.techapi.instrument.toplink.quotation.QuotationDefORMWrapper.class);
quotationDefsMapping.dontUseIndirection();
quotationDefsMapping.privateOwnedRelationship();
quotationDefsMapping.useCollectionClass(java.util.ArrayList.class);
quotationDefsMapping.addAscendingOrdering("orderBy");
quotationDefsMapping.addTargetForeignKeyFieldName("T_QUOTATIONTARGET.SEQ_KEY", "T_QUOTATION.SEQ_KEY");
descriptor.addMapping(quotationDefsMapping);
and now the parent of QuotationORMWrapper:
public ClassDescriptor buildPersistentInstrumentDescriptor() {
RelationalDescriptor descriptor = new RelationalDescriptor();
descriptor.setJavaClass(de.hvb.ha.server.businessobjects.techapi.instrument.toplink.PersistentInstrument.class);
descriptor.addTableName("T_INSTRUMENT");
descriptor.addPrimaryKeyFieldName("T_INSTRUMENT.INSTR_ID");
descriptor.addPrimaryKeyFieldName("T_INSTRUMENT.INSTR_KEYTYPE");
// Descriptor Properties.
descriptor.useSoftCacheWeakIdentityMap();
descriptor.setIdentityMapSize(300);
descriptor.useRemoteSoftCacheWeakIdentityMap();
descriptor.setRemoteIdentityMapSize(300);
descriptor.setAlias("PersistentInstrument");
OneToOneMapping quotationMapping = new OneToOneMapping();
quotationMapping.setAttributeName("quotation");
quotationMapping.setReferenceClass(de.hvb.ha.server.businessobjects.techapi.instrument.toplink.quotation.QuotationORMWrapper.class);
quotationMapping.useBasicIndirection();
quotationMapping.privateOwnedRelationship();
quotationMapping.addTargetForeignKeyFieldName("T_QUOTATION.INSTR_ID", "T_INSTRUMENT.INSTR_ID");
quotationMapping.addTargetForeignKeyFieldName("T_QUOTATION.INSTR_KEYTYPE", "T_INSTRUMENT.INSTR_KEYTYPE");
descriptor.addMapping(quotationMapping)
I hope I don't missed any relevant parts. By the way, where could I log a bug for this issue and can it be considered a bug?
Thanks in advance!

Error when using byte array in web service model interface

Hello everybody,
I'm using a web service model in my web dynpro application. The web service requires a byte array as import parameter.
When starting the web dynpro application the following error occurs:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDTypeNotFoundException: type java:byte not found
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.datatypes.core.DataTypeBroker.getDataType(DataTypeBroker.java:216)
I'm using byte arrays several times in my application --> no problem. So why does the error say "byte not found" when using the web service?
Thanks for your help!
regards
Christian

Hi,
maybe this is the problem. The type is byte and not binary.
But I have the same problem as mentioned in the other thread: I can't change the type.
The type in the WSDL of my web service is "base64binary". Is there maybe a possibility to import a jar-file for this type?
